Advertising, Petroliana & Coin-Op

A tidal wave of fresh to the market investment grade collectibles by some of the most established collections in the county. Here, we offer advertising spanning from the 1890s to the 1970s. The offering features petroliana (gas pump, globes, tins and signs), breweriana (early beer trays, signs, and related advertising), and country store advertising. In the country store category, we feature two very desirable porcelain signs: a King Cole Tea and Coffee ?diecut? sign, as well as a Red Top Flour ?convex? sign. In petroliana, we feature the works of Nathan Appleby including his masterpiece, a McColl-Frontenac Red Indian reverse on glass sign. Also in petroliana we feature the 6? Northstar porcelain dealer sign from the family of the original dealership in Steinbach, Manitoba. Other highlights include a Wurlitzer 1015 and 1700, and a Seeburg Symphonola 148 (?trashcan?). Overall, this sale is packed with fresh-to-the-market excitement, and is not to be missed.
